The New York Sun recently re-
ceived from waggish poet an adver-
tisement of The Sun in rhyme. The
advertisement was given prominent
place in The Sun; but after its pub
LEGATION it was discovered that it was
an acrostic which read "Dana is a
fraud" 1t must have been the work
of some wicked contemporary or some
democrat from way back, who is dis

Blair Educational Bill.

A Washington special says the Blair
educational grab is showing unlocked
for strength in the House. ALL this
session petitions have been pouring in
asking the passage Of this or some like
measure. The signs of a concerted
move. were plain. and nobody paid
much attention to, the petitions, though
hundreds of them. came from Knights
of Labor, whose Wishes. it was, claimed,
no member wonld dane. disregard
This manufactured, sentiment has had
more effect than wassupposed.. Today,
during the call of committees the
Educational and Labor Committees
were reached whan. but half an hour re-
manned. The hackers of the Educa-
tional bill did not want to open the
fight in this short time, but had to
make some move Or lose their oppor-
tunity. So the. bill was called I'D and
motion made to table it. This was
voted down by the surprising majority
of 165 to rs. The hour had BY this
time expired and the subject went over
till tomorrow: The opponents Of the
grab will be able to flibuster through
the time then, but the show OF strength
made in behalf of the bill leaves it I'M
certain whether these tactics can sue
coed all through the session.
TWAS remarked that more than a
two-thirdst vote had been cast against
tabling the measure. and this vote
would enable it to be passed under a
suspension of the rules. Even if the
subject were fought off till the end of
the session, the last six days are open
to passage under suspension, and by
taking the bill just as it came from the
Senate the scheme might be consum-
mated. The members who are pushing
the job claim that all their men were
not on hand today, and that their full
support will show up tomorrow, when
they will call the yeas and nays on the
first dilatory motion. The time may
all be taken up in this way, but they
will be satisfied if they made show
ing slightly better than that of this
afternoon. 1t is possible that they are
over confident in their boasting, yet the
opposition to the bill will have to put
in some hard work before the tide can
be turned. The pension measures
passed will probably take $25, 000,0 a
year out of the National Treasury in
stead of eleven million, as was esti-
mated. With seventy-nine millions
more given to States which will not
pay the cost of their own teaching, the
problem of the surplus would be solved
in short order.

Cantharides for Hydrophobia.

Chambers Journal: A Russian
doctor says that he has successfully
treated with cantharides some patients
who were bitten by wolf. Three
men were badly bitten by the animal in
various parts of the body, and
cantharides plasters We're applied to the
wounds At the same time, powdered
cantharides was administered to each
in doses of one grain each day, until
certain we'll known symptoms were ex-
hihited. These patients have now been
in perfect health for eight months
since the bites We're given, and it is
hoped that cantharides has thu
proved successful remedy to tho dire
disease with which they were
threatened.

Experience with a SilO.

Mr.. George W. Koiuer, leading farm
er and stock-raiser Of Augusta county, Va,
has furnished the Staunton Vindicator the
following account of his experience with
a silo:
"Last August put up frame build
ing twelve by twelve feet and twelve feet
high. The frame is eight inches, planked
up on both sides. The space between was
filed with sawdust. I put in a plank
floor and covered with plank, with door
in one corner at the ground. The build
ing did not cost over $50, with an esti-
mated capacity of thirty tons. On Au
gust % green corn was cut. Not having
planted the corn for the purpose, and
only as an experiment, I selected the
lightest growth in the corn-feld. The
corn was cut IN half-inch lengths by
steam power, and during the filling of the
silo three men tramped the cut fodder as
tight as they could pack it. The silo was
only filed half full, not feeling sure that
this plan Of house would keep it we'll. The
top was then covered with one and half
feet dry wheat chaf and placed loose
plank, closely fitted, covering the entire
top. Upon the plank was put two feet
Of stone. The gable-ends we're nailed up
and the job was completed at cost of
about 81 per ton.

Selecting Heifer:.
American Agriculturalist.

Raising heifers sounds we'll in theory,
but breeding cattle is separate art
from dairying, and unless followed with
great judgment is losing business, as
not every hsifer raised becomes first
class mileh COW. The best plan is to buy
heifers heavy with their first calves-call-
ed "springers;" and in this is much more
room for judgment and skill in making
these selections than most man are will
ing to admit. The mistake usually made
is In being mislsd by fancy for certain
shapes, cOlOrs and fashionable points, to
the neglect of others relating Immediate
ly to the usefulness of the matured COW.
The first point to consider is that the
heifer is strong, with deep flank, indi-
eating constitutional vigor; then see that
her teats are large and set wide apart.
Viewed from behind the twist should
be open and wide, with her rudimentary
udder we'll displayed and reats far apart.
AS secondary and fancy points, slim
neck and long head with small horns are
good features. Above all things, avoid
those heifers that show very small rudi-
mentary teats, or those with large ones
set close together. Such a heifer never
can make a frst-class cow. There are
enough risks to run before securing a
good one, without starting out with those
that never can improve. Even she best
of pedigress can not make good cow
out Of hsifsr with a deformed udder
Those who have studied Guenon's meth
cd, while they do not rely upon it to the
exclusion of other points, find it great
aid, and feel that they can not ignore the
sscutchsOn.

Produce a Greater Variety.
Practical Farmer.

During the present season of compare
tive leisure on the farm it will be we'll for
cultivators while maturing their plans for
the ensuing summer, to consider whether
it would be advisable to raise q greater
variety of crops than formerly. Farmers
who practice mixed husbandry are gensr-
ally more successful, especially those re-
mete from good markets, than such as
rely upon one or two crops, or specialtles,
and then, instead of growing them, as
they might easily do, purchase several
soil products for consumption IN their
families. Alluoiug to this subject q Pa
cifc coast journal tersely remaks that in
the matter of production the Californian
is peculiar. He will plant from 100 to
500 acres in grain, and purchase his table
eatables from a neighbor. He will pas
ture herd of cattle and rely upon the
peddler for the milk that supplies his
family. He will go abroad for goods
that he could as we'll manufacture at

ION December 5, opened the door at
the bottom made for the purpose of get
ting the ensilage out. l found it in splen-
did condition, except few inches around
the sides and top. Fearing that there
would be some trouble to teach stock to
eat 1T, some of the ensilage was offered to
horses, cows and hogs-all ate it at once
with as much relish as if was green clover.
After feeding the eusilage few days to
COWS, they increased their fow of milk.
besides giving a richer quality. The
stock, which have been fed on ensilage
alone, except access to straw stack, have
increased In weight and manifest an in
creased appetite and taste for it. 1t is
saio that green clover, cut when in bloom,
makes IS good ensilage as green corn.
oioFer that VIII make one and half tons
oI nay Will make twenty tons of ensilage
per acre, and corn that will make forty to
nity oushels per acre will make about
twenty-five tons ensilage.
1.-THE use of ensilape will nrodnce q
revolution in farming and stock raising.
The present low prices demanding a
change from the old management of
stock-ralslng, ensilage is the one great
panacea for the stock-raiser. Instead OF
selling wheat at less than cost of produc-
ton. beef can be grown at almost half
the cost under the present management.
Cattle will thrive and grow through the
winter as IN summer, and steer raised
on ensilage during the winter months, at
years old would be about as large as
at 3 under the ordinary regime, thus saw
ms years feed. 1t will open up the
dairy business in new light Milk and
butter can be produced in the same GUAM
slty and cost In winter as in summer
writers on the subject who have fed
ensilage claim that enc acre of heavy
clover or corn ensilage will feed four cows
six months; if it only keep half that
number 1t will be wonderful improve
ment upon the present way of wintering
stock. Stock have been sfattened upon
ensilage exclusively,
"Sir j. B. Lawe., the eminent English
agrIoulturist, after experimenting with
ensllage says it loses only one-tenth
of its nutritive value as compared to its
green state. Ensilage is rich in albumin
oids and nitrogenoss substance, and the
process of fermentation which it under
goes in the silo is said to take the place
of one degree in digestion.
'The idea that sile is expense has
deferred many farmers from trying it.
The above described I Ian is as cheap as
can be made, and has proven to keep en-
sllage about as we'll as the more expen-
slve underground plans. The silo has
come to stay, and will every farmer who
uses it to keep double the number of,
stock, and keep them much better, and at
less cost. 1t is as applicable to sheep
hus bandry as any other stock, and hogs
are said to winter very we'll upon it,

Importance of Pure Seed.


Peter Henderson, Author of "Garden-
ing for Profit" in an article on Seeds and
Seed Raising in the American Agricul-
turist for February, writes:
If there is one thing of paramount i'm
portance in vegetable gardening it is
purity of seed; and for this reason the
ed not only for it's terminating qualities,
but for its genuineness of kind. The
test of termination is easy enough, aud
there is rarely any trouble with that; but
to be certain that the variety is true to
Its kind, is matter requiring time and a
knowledge of varieties.
Thirty years ago the market gardeners
grew nearly all their own seeds, as in
those days we had hardly any seedsmen
VINO knew any thing about varieties and
consequently the market gardeners dared
not risk their crops in buying for them. I
remember on one occasion the seed crop
of our indispensable Wakefield cabbage
with nearly all of US. There was only one
man among us who had had foresight
enough to have two years supply; of
fered him $50 per pound, but could not
procure an ounce from him, and as no
one cared to risk the seed stored in those
days for Wakefield cabbage seed, he had
the whole field 90 himself. He planted
nearly ten acres with this variety, which
coming in some eight or ten days earlier,
than anything else, he made little for
tune by his being able to have a mo-
nopoly of the seed. That is now over
thirty years ago, but have never known
Jersey gardner to be out of Wakefield
cabbage seed since, and not know where
to get it.
